Why Do I Feel Like This?

|

When I made this work, I learned and realized a few things. One of the things that I learned is that people can be afraid of asking “Why do I feel like this?” They could be scared to address their mental health. They could also be scared of reaching out or trying to understand what they’re feeling. I realized that I relate to this because I sometimes avoid or ignore my mental health problems even though I shouldn’t. I wanted this project to feel relatable and to make a viewer realize that they could be ignoring their problems and then try to start addressing them.

You’re Not Alone

|

“The green ribbon is a symbol for mental health and in my piece represents living or something alive. This is meant as a reminder that you’re not alone, that if you turn around to look in all directions, you’ll see that there are people like you who feel isolated and sad.”

The Mermaids of the Sickened Sea

|

“My piece is inspired by the overwhelming pollution in the ocean that affects the life of sea animals. In my artwork you can see a mermaid looking solemnly into what has become of her ocean now filled with pollution and trash.”

#Reach Out for Help

|

When I first heard about the monthly prompt, it first reminded me of how we use social media or texting. Nowadays, a lot of people use hashtags (#) in their social media to share their thoughts about things like Black Lives Matter and Stop Asian Hate protests. So, I thought that it would be great to use the hashtag #takeaction4MH to help others who need help with mental health problems.

Light At the End of a Tunnel

|

I like this film because it’s a good way on how to tell people how to raise your happiness. We love making films.

Finding Hope

|

One character is insecure about their body, one wants to be better at drawing, and another character wants to be good at video games, and they get hope and each of them keeps going and practicing. We are hopeful of becoming a better version of ourselves in this film. Our film is about how people don’t have to be afraid of what they choose and shouldn’t change themselves for someone else and that they should have hope that everything will get better.

Speaking on Mental Health

|

I’m Schylar Johnson. I enjoyed working on the camera for this film , I choose this topic because EVERYONE struggles with mental health even just by a little bit .

Choose Hope

|

I chose this topic because it really got my attention and seemed interesting to make a film about that topic. There was some special effort to put in the film because me and my team had to use many different types of tools to film. I feel that everyone should choose hope. I learned about the importance of having hope.
